Title: With Your Shield, Or On It
Rating: PG-13 (yeah, we'll talk about that)
Pairing: Sparky
Assignment: "The Ark", 3x16 -
notjustclosets
Summary: And this is her power: that she picks the broken pieces out of the wreckage and puts him back together without hesitating.
Author's Note: Yes, I know the real point of the
notjustclosets challenge was to write them having hot monkey sex in such a way that it fits in the episode, but I decided that rather than scarring people for life, I'd go with a pre-and-post fic centered around the Sparky warrior/goddess theme. I know, I know, but I don't really have a Smut Muse, sorry to disappoint you - although I
did get them somewhere other than a closet. So y'all want NC-17 stuff, fill it in - and if you actually
write it, I will be more than happy to add it to the fic.
Note II: I just have to laugh at the fact that everyone else got an extension to my much-begged-for date. ;)
Note III: The imagery here is something that I had to kick around a bit (code for: I yelled "Forget it!" and the Muse yelled back, "Write it!" "But it's
abstract-ish!" "And when's that stopped you?"); I'm occasionally under the impression that the Elizabeth that John imagines is sometimes quite different from who she actually is, and that even in canon, she is his goddess. It's something I fiddled with, and comments are definitely welcome! And- er, okay, to the fic before I get sidetracked with ancient mythology and Shakespearian plays.
